'The Ten Easy Pieces - with a 'Dedication' as an eleventh - are a complement to the Bagatelles. The former were written with pedagogical purposes, that is, to supply piano students with easy contemporary pieces' wrote Bartók in the foreword to a planned American edition. This was his first piano series to be published with detailed fingering and pedalling indications, as he had done with the works of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart etc. in what are known as his performing editions of classical piano music.' (HCD 32525 Bartók New Series Vol. 25, László Somfai).

Does anyone not know the Little Prince? Antoine de Saint-Exupery's story has been translated into many languages and is known all over the world. Peter Wittrich (*1959) set to music those individual figures and fairytale scenes, emotional and spiritual experiences, transforming them into an experience in sound. The Little Prince is read and loved by several generations, so my own cycle of pieces should also appeal across the generations, to all age groups. These are not primarily pieces for children, though children will enjoy them very much; this is music to suit contemporary tastes with artistic flair and educational merit, equally suitable for use in teaching and concert performance and also providing accessible and easy contemporary piano repertoire for more mature players starting or returning to the piano. -Peter Wittrich Introduction in English and German. Song titles in English, French, and German.

After composing his piano method, the piano teacher Daniel Gottlieb Turk, a contemporary of Haydn and Mozart, composed a large collection of little Handstucke, or instructive pieces, for beginners with poetic titles. This volume contains the easiest of these pieces, in such order that they constitute a little course which gradually introduces all keys of up to three accidentals, increasing independence of the hands, different ways of playing and various rhythms. This edition is part of the new Schott Student Edition series which offers varied literature at five different levels of difficulty,from 1 (easy) to 5 (difficult), for instrumental lessons.
